Is it possible to search for a record in CRM using GUID with Advanced Find?
Short answer: No
Longer answer: No, but there are other ways to get what you want. Here is one of them.
- Select a record of the desired type in CRM and click the copy link button
- Paste the link to the text editor of your choice.
- Edit the link and change the ID (red text area) to the GUID that you want to find.

Doesn’t work
Hmm, works for me. I could even retrieve a View by its identifier.
Another daysaver – works like a charm 🙂
It’s not working for me.
How does it work without knowing the entity type of that GUID. etc=1 in that URL seems like an account to me and I think it’ll only work for account record GUID.
The url must include either
etcvalue (as in the example in the post), oretnwhere the entity name can be used, e.g.etn=account.Follow the instructions in the post–copy the URL of a record in the entity of which you want to find, then replace the GUID> It will contain the right entity type code.
